Prime Location - set in Kenya's 2nd most favoured wildlife area, home to the rare northern 'species' of Beisia oryx, gerenuk and Grevy's zebra.
Samburu Sopa Lodge is built overlooking the wildlife-rich banks of the Ewaso Nyiro river within the ancestral lands of the Samburu, who are close relatives of the Masai. The lodge is set atop raised ground allowing panoramic views of distant Samburu hills to one side and El Ndonyo Keri (Samburu name for Mt. Kenya) on the other.
The public areas are airy and spacious with views of the surrounding area. The reception is decorated with local artifacts, and rich earth colours typical of the Samburu area have been well blended. There is a swimming pool to cool you in the warm Samburu weather, and loungers, much needed after a long dusty safari.
Game viewing activities include guided nature walks and nightly wildlife feeding. Rare wildlife species like the Beisia oryx, gerenuk and Grevy's zebra can be seen here in one of Keny's most famous wildlife areas.
